Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Double Displacement Reaction

A double displacement reaction, also known as a metathesis reaction, occurs when two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds. In this type of reaction, the cations and anions of the reactants switch partners, often resulting in the formation of a precipitate, gas, or water. Understanding this concept is crucial for predicting the products of the given reaction.

Solubility Rules

Solubility rules are guidelines that help predict whether a compound will dissolve in water or form a precipitate. These rules indicate which ionic compounds are soluble in water and which are not, based on the ions present. Applying these rules is essential for determining the outcome of the reaction between Cr(NO3)3 and LiOH, as it influences whether a reaction occurs and what products are formed.

Balancing Chemical Equations

Balancing chemical equations is the process of ensuring that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation. This is based on the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. A balanced equation accurately represents the stoichiometry of the reaction, which is necessary for understanding the quantities of reactants and products involved.
